Citizenship ceremonies

Step one - acquiring citizenship

You must contact the Home Office about citizenship - we can only advise about the Citizenship Ceremony.

Gov.uk: citizenship information

Step two - the ceremony

When you apply for British nationality, you must make a citizenship oath and pledge at a ceremony as the final part of the naturalisation process. Attendance at a ceremony is mandatory for anyone 18 years and over.

To arrange a Citizenship Ceremony you must first be in possession of a reference number allocated by the Home Office.
